They certainly ought to be in our future.
In 1969, in a NASCAR, two-car draft:
* the Cd 0.315 lead car, falls to Cd 0.22.
* the trailing car is at Cd 0.185.

In 1987, Hans G'o'tz, of Daimler-Benz reported, for a three-bus NASCAR draft:
* the lead, Cd 0.50 bus was down to Cd 0.425.
* the middle bus was down to Cd 0.167.
* and the trailing bus was down to Cd 0.146.
